Changing the Game in Revenue Growth, Presented by SAP
The digital economy has transformed the way B2B buyers discover, research and purchase products and services. They rely on digital resources for a majority of the buying journey, and they use their mobile devices to access and gather that information. They don’t want or need to deal with a salesperson until the actual purchase decision. Today’s B2B buyer differs from company to company and from generation to generation. With a multitude of digital and social channels, it’s imperative that your company present itself with the same message, tone, voice and look across all channels to deliver a consistent experience at every touchpoint in the buyer’s journey. Changing the Game of Revenue Growth brings you thought leaders with expertise across the buyer’s journey so you can proactively connect with buyers on their terms to help you grow revenue and build long-term loyalty. Changing the Game of Revenue Growth with Game Changers, presented by SAP, on The Business Channel.
